23

'The temple is asked more about this number than about anything else. It is a number sacred to Eris, Sirius, synchonicity, and good conspiracy theories. 23 seems to appear more than it 'should' in random selection, a reassuring and oddly recurring number. 23 times 3 equals 69!! In the Sepher Sepherioth, 23 equals parted, removed, separated; joy; a thread; life. William S. Burroughs and Robert Anton Wilson have both written extensively on the "23 Enigma", so we will spare you the gory details.
A symbolic doorway between Universe A, or the waking "consensus-reality" and Universe B, the reality of possibility. The key to this door is the power of the focused orgasm.
The Temple needed a 'sacred' number, and 23 felt right. It has become a central focus for many Temple Individuals, and perhaps has been empowered by people focusing on it during their ritual actions for so long. In the words of one correspondent, it can be likened to a child- always following, but smiling, annoying but always charming. Like all 'magic' numbers, it significance is proportionate to the amount of time and cleverness you expend demonstrating its uniqueness. Every number is unique. ' |
